Enforceability of Contracts and Consent Defects

After a $30-$year career as a shipping logistics executive, Ishmael retired and began to offer his services as a logistics consultant. Ishmael entered into a consulting contract with the general manager at Export Co to provide logistical advice to the company for $12$ months. The parties agreed in the contract that Export will pay Ishmael $$5,000$ per month on the last day of each month. Ishmael promised to devote $"100$ percent of his professional time" to Export for a period of at least eight consecutive weeks.

Once he starts his consulting services, he realizes that Export needs logistics consulting for international transactions, something Ishmael is not expert in$.$ Which of the following best identifies the consent defect that Export would likely claim?

Multiple Choice
